Choice Activity two- Meaning of the flag • The rays of the sun symbolizes the twelve hours of the day as according to the Chinese traditional hours which corresponds to two hours each of present day time system, and the twelve months of the year. The red earth signifies the blood and the sacrifice of the people who fought to overthrow the Qing dynasty and helped established the Republic of China (ROC). • The white sun in the blue sky also represents the Kuomintang party or KMT (Chinese Nationalist Party) and the red background is a traditional colour favoured by the Chinese and represents the Han Chinese race as well. • The three colours represent the Three Principles of the People according to Sun Yat-sen: nationalism (blue), democracy (white), and people’s livelihood (red). The three colours also means liberty, equality, and fraternity, accordingly, which in a way is the same with the flag of France that also has the same colours and meaning; the only difference is to what colour a moral is associated.
